Gone Fishin' with Mom

I don't usually take the boys over to the pond without Derek.  But as the end of summer quickly closed in on us... we felt the urgency to us it wisely, I suppose! :) 

So, I loaded up, actually the big boys handle the fishing gear now, which is nice! We headed to the pond.  They are always anxious to get their line in!

They beat me to the water and Cooper pulled one in just as I arrived!

Miles shortly after.


Owen spent a little time fishing then him and I decided to eat our picnic lunch.

Just the two of us. 

Because we never did talk these other guys into eating... until we got in the van to leave! 

Owen likes to see all the fish.

And mostly throw them back.

It's a good thing no one is competing on size of fish!

Only the total number of fish caught... 

I spent some of my time untangling Owen's line from around his ankles.

Good thing he's cute! 

He did actually catch fish a couple that day!  Miles worked with him on how to hold it 'properly' for a photo.

And he did it!  He looks like a pro now! :)

It started sprinkling and I finally convinced everyone to head to the van.  Even though they'd finally convinced me that the thing swimming around in the water was a muskrat, not a snake!
